Automatic SAP Stop/Start on AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is now one of the most widely used cloud services for hosting SAP applications.

So it is highly important for you to switch off these SAP/AWS instances during unused hours to save the cost on unused resources.

I am just referring you to the interesting blogs/articles which will help you achieve this. Credits to the authors for such detailed blogs.

This can be achieved in two steps.

A. Stop/Start application/DB along with operating system stop/start. Use init scripts to do this as explained in the blog SAP/DB auto start/stop. During maintenance (Multiple reboots) you can switch off the script using, chkconfig <scriptname> off.
